Bug 4685

Summary: System cursor broken on Linux/X11
Product: SDL Reporter: Danni H <dannihfoss>
Component: eventsAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2    
Version: 2.0.9   
Hardware: x86_64   
OS: Linux   

Description Danni H 2019-06-22 16:38:33 UTC 
I swear this worked the other day, but it seems after a recent package update in Arch Linux, SDL2 is no longer able to create a system cursor.

How to reproduce:

1. Install the Rust programming language
2. git clone https://gitlab.com/cosmicchipsocket/keeshond.git
3. cd keeshond
4. cargo run --example imgui --features="imgui_integration"

On my system, the following warning appears:

[ WARN  keeshond::imgui_handler ] Could not create system cursor: CreateSystemCursor is not currently supported

From this line:

https://gitlab.com/cosmicchipsocket/keeshond/blob/master/keeshond/src/imgui_handler.rs#L73

This was initially a fatal error that I had to change to a warning because of this issue. Rebooting system did not resolve the issue.

Please ignore, I was trying to get a system cursor before initializing the video subsystem.
